39TDS Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 I think they are possibly obsolete but does anyone know where they can be got from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malantone Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 try this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DEBEN-TRACER-MINI-LAMP-SNAP-FIT-RED-FILTER-/321049083518?pt=UK_SportingGoods_Hunting_ShootingSports_ET&hash=item4ac0043e7e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
39TDS Posted January 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 That one is for a Tracer Mini, I think they are different. Thanks for trying though. I looked up Mini and it took me to an air rifles sales page, I found the same sales people when I was searching for the filters. They have the mini filters but the compact filters are out of stock. Suggests to me they are indeed different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregthegreat Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 (edited) I had the same problem and ended up buying a sheet of orange Perspex from a local industrial estate to make my own. What colour were you after? Edited January 3, 2013 by Gregthegreat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekers Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 (edited) The obvious response is call Deben and ask them for help! They are usually pretty helpful! Edited January 3, 2013 by Dekers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

39TDS Posted January 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 I was after red if i had a choice. I have made my own in the past but held them on with tape. Wanted to be able to put on/take off easier really. I might well call Deben. You can’t buy the filters for this lamp anymore deben stopped making them over 10 years ago Oh, there you go then.

Gimlet Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 Buy a sheet of red acetate from an art shop and cut out a disc to fit behind the lens. I bought a Deben flip-up filter once in a moment of madness. It was way too dense, fragile and expensive. Acetate works a treat. The quarry can't tell the difference and it doesn't restrict the range so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
